I bought some and I did like it, but not enough to buy it again
(I keep forgetting). It does work, but not much better than just
soaking something, and I didn't care for the smell (like oven
cleaner, which is probably all it was)...

I suppose, then, that it would work well for the inside of the glass door
of my toaster oven. Nothing else seems to remove the baked-on spots and
the door isn't removable for soaking.

I've used it on a couple of things. I have a convection/microwave combo
oven and the tray can get seriously cruddy and the power dissolver cleaned
it right up. I also forgot the broiler pan in the broiler one time and of
course cooked all of the grease on it the next time I use the oven and the
power dissolver cleaned it right up too.

For something like that, try Magic Eraser first. The advantage there
is no chemicals and ... no rinsing of the item (the sponge rinses
right out with water, even that baked on grease film). The thing
about Magic Eraser is that you first try it on something and it either
doesn't work or works merely "OK" and you think "What's the big deal
here?" But then you find something where it works where other things
won't and you're hooked! It's great to have around. I cut the
sponges in half.

I'll check out the Power Dissolver. Ya never can have too many
cleaning aids to minimize the need for elbow grease.

I think I did answer within that thread, but will here anyway. I saw a
TV demo of that cleaner and decided to give it a try for the regular
soaking of my "Ges-Line" (plastic?) ashtrays that I'd used only an
overnight Cascade dishwasher gel for before. Hah! The Dawn PD works
within less than a half hour; I don't find the scent at all offensive;
and it works well on all other things I've tried it on. One example
being the circular, metal tray inside my convection/microwave oven.
That tray is of the blue and white speckled metal (think of an oval
turkey roaster), it's too big to soak within the kitchen sink, and it
had the leftovers of baked on gunk remaining from other cleaning
attempts yet to be removed. I sprayed it with the DPD and waited only
about a half an hour to try scrubbing. Near to effortlessly, the tray
cleaned up to appear brand new. I now always have a spare bottle, just
to be sure I'll not run out of this terrific find.

Picky ~JA~

I've found that Goo Gone works well on glass surfaces with gummy type gunk on
it. Just squirt some on and let it sit a few minutes then it usually comes
right off.

Gotta ask - if the Palmolive product is supposed to be for dishes and pans
but it sucked at it, what made you think to use it on glass shower doors?

Works well for me on baked on and greasy messes, much faster than just
soaking. A problem I have with soaking is something that never occurred to
me when I rented this apartment 8 years ago. The kitchen only has a single
sink. So if I need to soak a glass baking pan, for example, the sink is
tied up until the soak is effective and I'm done washing the pan. Real
PITA. The Dawn Power Dissolver can be sprayed in the pan and the pan left
on the counter or stovetop and I'm free to wash up other, less stubborn,
things in the meantime.

Best home product for dissolving stuck on cooking residue is ordinary household
ammonia.

So, you've been renting that appartment for 8 years now.... you do realize
you've already bought it, twice.

Actually I've had good luck stretching mine. I got quite a bit out of
a half.

I hope they *are* very popular so that they don't magically disappear
from the shelves!
